In Me

People come inside me to worship their lord
With different kinds of request from their lord
For what they asked is unanswerable
Because they are asking for the downfall of his truthful
Fellow, they come inside me to worship the
Lord, for their mind and soul is not in me
They asked something from him, but he won't answer
They blamed him for not answering
Some are callous to the extent that they even stole in me
People come inside me to ask for forgiveness of their sin
And said to their lord " I won't do it again"
Immediately they left, they started escalating their sin
For their sin would block their prayers
Their prayer can't be answered
I can see through their minds and eyes the catastrophe on their ways
For I am close to God, I can see through their hearts
For I often exchange words with him, I know why their prayers were not answered
But the lord did not give me the ability to speak
It has become a pain in my mind, for not being able to speak.

I thought you spoke most eloquently. If not for the Hypocrites the churches and temples would be mostly empty. Sadly in one way or another all of us fit this discription. Thankfully God is merciful.

Thanks for your worm comment it is appreciated, some people are so desperate to the extent that their aim in the house of God is not good at all. That is why the house of God remonstrated so that they can change.
